HOW TO REPRODUCE:
- Record a video using the Theora codec.

RESULT:
- In the recording the image is frozen or broken.

RELEVANT DETAILS:
- Doesn't matter which application you use to record or play the video.
- I'm attaching samples from various programs.

The only application that seems to show errors in stderror related with video seems to be guvcview.

Doesn't happen in another computer using AMD graphics.

Start with Xorg.0.log, glxinfo, vainfo and details on how you record the video.

What I did to record those videos was mostly to clic on the "Record" button from the various applications. Which where a web-cam recorder, a desktop recorder, and a video converter.

Since I'm no longer using Ubuntu, I'm unsubscribing from this report.

The video for recordmydesktop has same symptoms as #713594, but will not close as duplicate since I think this bug report is about more things than that bug. So setting as Won't Fix for recordmydesktop too instead.

(I did not have permission to do that, so I set it to Invalid instead for recordmydesktop instead, to get it off the list of unattened recordmydesktop bugs)
